Mike Patton describes the Waves Manny Marroquin Distortion plugin as "a digital deep fryer" for achieving a crispy exterior on any sound, highlighting its effectiveness in sound design. This statement is featured on Waves' official website under the Manny Marroquin Distortion Plugin section.
"Also, I really love to take one of the rhythm guitar parts and distort it using the Manny Marroquin Distortion plugin. I‘ll use that in the center of the track and it really adds an awesome growl. I mainly use this trick in the choruses. With the Manny plugin, I can make the attack slow, so it enters like ‘gang busters’ and then falls right into place."
